RefPreviews experiment: Hide/show settings icon with URL parameter
Open, Stalled, Needs TriagePublic

Description

Incremental implementation ticket with the first steps from T415911: UX designs for treatment group: Optional persistent state for Reference Preview:

  1. Implement a ("secret") URL parameter that manually triggers the new workflow.
  2. The first thing this new URL parameter does is hiding the cogwheel.
  3. Clicking the popup makes the cogwheel appear again.

Important: This needs to be an optional workflow and not affect the existing one.

For reference, FunTech uses something like banner=WMDE_FR_2025_Desktop_DE_01_ctrl.
